Xplane10 and Occulus Rift
alpha12125 replied to himmelhorse's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
well i guess me with glasses is at a disadvantage vs. people with no glasses. But in general the displays do get warm and the "looking through swim goggles" effect of the small displays is tyring for me after a certain amount of time. Funnily enough, when i first tried it, i was blown away by it and thought aswell it was the future of everything, but after a few hours using it, the novelty wears off and you start to realize where the flaws are. I mean this is still first gen, i can see the potential but 3-4 years down the road is where i see some real use for flightsimming. -
Xplane10 and Occulus Rift
alpha12125 replied to himmelhorse's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
it's not that they cant do it. It's that they built it three times from the ground up and everytime it got torn down by changes either in the opengl sdk, or changes in the devkit. So they said they will wait until it matured for a while. Also the OpenGL SDK for the Occulus is a rather underrepresentated SDK to put it politely. Having tried the Vive (for flightsim) and the occulus for gaming, i can totally understand why you will wait for the technology to mature. Its a nice wow, but unless you like gliders or other GA that doesn't require lots of cockpit interaction, the resolution is simply not high enough and more than 30 minutes of wearing them is not really comfortable. Plus using things like charts or other navigation tools is nigh on impossible (apart from some virtual windows like flyinside). -

Should I wait for X-Plane 11?

i think it was on the release stream of the 767, phillip münzel said that laminar was suprised how successful the gateway was and that it is something that they would look into for regionalized data -

Well that is not really a secret and if you watch the forum you will exactly know what was meant This are probably the details that still need ironing out -

i am asking again sethos. With all your experience with photoscenery. Did you have no problems with different colours, saturation, contrast with each tile ? Did you never have to manually edit the photoscenery files ? -

Sethos, did you create all your states with a few clicks and had no issues in the complete state like different colors, saturation, contrast etc.? Did you have no problems with airports? Was it one click and you are done ? I am interested, because my experience is different and i would like to know what you are doing different. -
jamming mobile phone signals in a building is easy. Jamming directed signals (that are 100x more stronger than mobile phone signals) to satelites, on planes tens of kilometers away from you and you do not know the location from, is nigh on impossible and will always be. Plus you still have the option of the playing flying autonomous.

The drain on resources wouldnt be that big. The public opinon, when pilots die or are captured, is far more important. Once you remove the pilot, the public doesnt really care about what you do, because they have no connection to the place of war. Just look at the U.S. Drone Operations in the Middle East, noone cares alot about them. If they shoot down a drone, than it barely makes the news. If a pilot dies or worse gets captured and dragged through the media, all hell breaks loose. For that reason alone the next generation fighters will loose their pilotseat

i dont mean this in a bad way: it is fun watching you over the years getting hyped about a product, loving it to bits, then starting to realize its shortcommings, then getting frustrated again, then uninstalling it and repeating the cycle Well OrbX is amazingly beautiful, no point in denying that. But for a lot of people, me included, its simply to expensive for a good coverage. Its easy to spent few hundred bucks on scenery from them. That is the beauty of x-plane. You can get 80% of OrbX quality for free, in some places even the same, but it does require effort and its understandable that people dont wan't to bother with that task
